<h4>Chapter 399 - The 2nd Earthling Game.</h4>


    After rewatching the memories for a second time and noting the terms that interested him, Felix left the consciousness space.


    It was truly a fruitful memory reading and he got to know Lady Sphinx much better. Seeing how intelligent she was, Felix doubted that she would even bother attempting to possess his body.


    Knowing that she had participated in the primogenitors'' suicidal pact, he believed that she must have died somewhere like the J?rmungandr due to depression.


    ''Hopefully, she will decide to stay with the J?rmungandr.'' Felix nned in his mind, ''I should try and matchmake them to remove any more thoughts of returning to the embrace of death.''


    ''I don''t need a wingman.'' The J?rmungandr interjected in his thoughts with an annoyed tone, ''And nothing will change my opinion. So just drop the subject.''


    "Elder, you are truly too stubborn for your good. I can d...''


    ''Drop it.''


    ''Sigh, fine.''


    In the end, Felix gave up on the matter as he didn''t want to upset the J?rmungandr.


    For now, he could only seek other ways to make the J?rmungandr stay since those series and movies clearly weren''t affecting his stubborn will to die.


    The only weird thing about the entire conversation was Asna''s unresponsiveness.


    Felix believed that she would have cheered for the J?rmungandr''s resolve to die or curse Felix for attempting to make him stay, but she was as quiet as a deer.


    ''It seems like she doesn''t want him to leave either.'' Felix smiled faintly and stopped thinking about those depressing matters.


    Instead, he went to grind for his poison maniption potency increase method and followed it with some solo training against AI dummies by using the seeker shoes and his Obsecurm suit.


    After he finished, he went to meet with George and his team in real life as they had decided to roll the wheel for the 2nd game only after 23 days instead of a month like nned.


    When Felix entered the conference room, he was greeted by the team who was mostly all seating in their seats.


    After a couple of minutes, the rest arrived and Felix was asked by George to take the stage.


    "Hopefully, it''s a game based on basketball." Walton wished softly while sitting next to Johnson and Kenny.


    "I prefer puzzles but team puzzles format is truly tough." Kenny gave his own input with a smile.


    "Shssh, he is spinning it." Johnson hushed them while focusing on the spinning colorful wheel that was for formats.


    Ting, Ting...Ting!


    >Congrattion on Picking Sports Format!<


    The announcement was followed by a couple of fireworks like always, making some team members sigh in dejections while some whistle in excitement.


    "As expected, Sports is a pretty dominated format in the PSG." Georgementated casually.


    Not reacting much to it as well, Felix pressed on the 2nd green button swiftly and watched the game wheel spin a few times before he stopped it.


    Ting, Ting...Ting!!

    "...."


    A chilling breeze caressed the cheeks of each team member, waking them up from their stupor after finishing reading the rules.


    Yet, no one hadmentated as their hearts thumped wildly in fear and dread at the notion of ying in this dangerous game.


    Although shields were allowed, they knew that Dodgeball court is small and if they got targeted by six yers, they would end up eating 6 elemental balls at once.


    God knows if the shield could even defend against two balls in a row.


    Only Felix was grinning widely while looking at his teammates like sheep waiting for ughter. Seeing his look, cold shivers coursed on their spine at the idea of training with Felix at this game.


    "Hahaha, let''s have some fun." Felixughed wickedly while closing the hologram.


    "Like hell you are going to practice with us!" George interrupted Felix''s unrestrained evilughter by pushing him down the stage, "Go deal with your business projects or something."


    George would be a fool to let Felix traumatize the rest by exploding their heads with the ball again!


    At least in football, the goalpost was the aim of Felix. But in dodgeball? He was literally given permission to kill who he pleases!


    "How could you treat the captain like this." Felix criticized George while fixing his clothes.


    When he saw that no one was talking in his defense and they were merely gazing at the ceiling, Felix clicked his tongue and walked away from the stage, heading to the conference room''s door.


    Cluck!


    Cheers erupted in the room after the sound of the door getting closed shut resounded in their ears.


    "Felix is sure popr in the team." Olivia chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt with Sophia and Hina.


    "Let''s go for some shopping Oli." Sophia rified after her proposal, "This game clearly isn''t for us."


    "I am going with you." Hina said, "I am not joining this game as well with my flimsy body."


    "True, this game is perfect for those with morphing abilities and high physical defenses like Felix and Zhang Wie." Sophia agreed.


    The girls'' discussion was being shared by most team members in the room.


    Unlike the football game, it was apparent that not everyone was excited to join it as they didn''t have the confidence to survive getting smacked in the face with a ball.


    "Alright, let''s head to the UVR''s room." George pped his hands and shouted, "We have only 1 month of practice this time! So Move!"


    ***


    Meanwhile, Felix went to his room and started doing some research on potion concoction so he would have some understanding when he spectates Madam H.


    After he spent an hour reading about avable information, he felt like he entered a new whole world that waspletely unfamiliar to him.


    However, his curiosity to learn more about potions never got quenched but just kept reigniting every time he read some bizarre information.


    Especially when he read that even rank 1 Witch was earning hundreds of millions from the basic potions she was selling in bulks.


    "Sigh, Witchers sure have it nice." Felix said enviously while closing the hologram.


    ''I wonder if Lady Sphinx would be willing to teach me her unique method of concoction." Felix wondered onest time before covering himself in bedsheets and closing his eyes.


    He needed to wake up early in the morning to not miss Madam H''s concoction of his Elemental Potion.
